Zonk with Artemis, Psykick Girl and DJ F
Local trip-hop foursome Zonk turns the characteristically languorous and melancholy style's perma-frown upside down. Frontlady McFiendish's sex-dripping vocals lend a sultry air to the band's quirky, beat-driven blend of turntable, laptop, live guitar and bass and harmonica, yes, harmonica. Earlier this year, Zonk won the Music for America download contest, earning them an opening slot for boho hip-hoppers De La Soul. And "Tittle Tattle," one of the tracks off their latest EP, "Our Five Worst Songs" (Harmony Machine), will be featured on the next installment of the popular "Dance Dance Revolution -- Ultra Mix" video game series.
